In reply to the letter which appears in
thi. issue, from a member Of the W. c. r.
L.. of Edinburg, We would say that the
Temperance Union certainly contains
among its members those who could, if
they would, send MS accounts of their
meetings, &c The most Of our Edinburg
items are reported by person who is
only there ever Sunday, so that it Is i'm
possible for him TO get the proceedings Of
the meetings Of the W. c. =. l.. II any
member Of the order will send rs con-
densed reports we will most cheerfully
publish them If we are not greatly mis-
taken we have published notices Of these
meetings from the pen Of the very CORES.

we have had to say in praise Of our preach

but Of the county generally As for the
Edinburg churches, we had a correspon
dent who reported all the different churol
services Of that place, for Il whole veal

age attendance, and other matters Of in

conclusion we will say, that it Is the cut
of a reporter to 90 for nuisance when
ever he sees it, and our Edinburg reporte
was certainly right when he condemne
the smoky furnaces of the Methods

The ladies' Of the w. c. T. L. were sorry
to see the notice IN last weeks HERALD
that there were some gentlemen who at
tended their supper on Saturday evening
previous, who did not receive tho change
due them. 1t was certainly not done in

by those who spared no pains in trying to
have it conducted on Christian principles
as the name implies-and thereby to give
value received for all money taken in.
The w. c. r. L. have had several very
interesting public meetings at different
times within the past year which were
never noticed by word or line from any
of your reporters from this place. We
have also in the same time had some ex-
cellept sermons delivered from our pull
pits. which shared the same fate, yet, II
by accident, a church happens to be some
what uncomfortable, or by some uncon-
trollablo means mistake 10 made by any
of our Christian workers, your columns
receive due notice Of the same at the
earliest date possible.

In Brief And To The Point.

Dyspepsia is dreadful. Disordered
liver is misery. Indigestion is foe to
good nature.
The human digestive apparatus is
one of the most complicated and Won
derful things in existence. 1t is easily
put out of order.
Greasy food. tough food, sloppy food,
bad cookery, mental worry. late hours,
irregular habits, and many other things
which ought not to be. have made the
American people nation Of dyspeptics.
But Green's August Flower has done
a wonderful work in reforming this sad
business and making the American peo-
pie so healthy that they can enjoy their
meals aud be happy.
Rememb Der: No happiness without
health. But Green's August Flower
brings health aud happiness to the dys-
beptic. Ask your druggist for a bot
tie. Seventy five cents. 3

More McEnery Trickery.

The parish of Ouachita, the home of
McEnerv, had to be carried for their IA
forte (?) sor by fraud. The delegates
were elected by mass meeting com
nosed of about $50 white and 100 blacks.
The petition of 473 white Democrats,
was completely ignored, but these ne
groes were allowed a voice in the meet
ing. SO much for white supremacy
strongly advocated by McEn-
cry and Senator Eustis (who was elect
ed by negro votes.) This attempt to
throttle the will and desire of the white
Democrats Of Ouachita will be strongly
opposed. Two sets of delegates, one
to represent the negroes and whites to-
gether and one to represent the white
supremacy of the parish, will be sent
from tue Governors old home. 1t would
pay them best to practice what they
preach ?-Winn Sentinel.

While the writer was an attache Of

divine called to have hundred ballads
printed of the familiar hymn "Jesus
Loves Me- They were delivered in

the reverend gentleman went his way
rejoicing. In day or two, however
he returned with the exact number of
ballads which he had taken away and
said that he did not want them they
didn't suit. He was asked what was
the matter with them. II they were
not neatly printed and true copy of
the words furnished the printer. He
said: Eyes, but de members wants ter

was instructed to append to the last

"0h yes, he do" and to print another

The judicial election in this parish,
last Tuesday, passed off very quietly.
a very large vote, nearly $500, was
polled, considering that the contest was
for but one Office. We publish the re-
turns for this parish, and dispatch
showing Lewis majority in Acadia.
This election shows that the Democracy
of this parish is united for Gen. Nichols
and reform and against ring rule, for
Lewis carried every Democratic poll in
the parish it,shows that in this parish
money cannot carry an election against
popular sentiment, for the Lewis side
had no money worth mention, and the
other side spent thousands of dollars to
secure the colored vote and practically
failed it shows also that every colored
man is not purchasable, and that the
great body of colored voters in this par
ish are as much opposed as the white
voters are to ring rule and buying
votes. The instances of colored men
who refused to sell their votes and in
fiuence for large sums of money, and
the untiring and efficient energy they
displayed in urging their people to vote
against the corrupting money power,
reflect great credit on their race. These
instances are too numerous to mention
but they are we'll known in every neigh
borhood; and they are held in high es-
TEEN by all good citizens.
